The shocking family story of a mother keeping her two sons locked up in their house in a neighborhood in Patras brings back the memory of the Kostaleksi case revealed some decades ago.
The two sons aged 45 and 38 years have lived for many years completely isolated from other people and under extremely miserable conditions. All 3 family members are suffering from mental illnesses, while their sister has allegedly abandoned the family in order to lead a better life.
The mother used to go out of the house sometimes with her οlder son,leaving the younger boy locked up in the house. In one of her exits her neighbors called the police but the younger son fought them back when they tried to enter the house.
After a court prosecution order yesterday, the police finally arrested the mother and her older son while outside the house. The younger son was immediately transported to a psychiatric clinic.
